Iheanacho Promises to Shine at Celtic After Sevilla Struggles

Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho says he is ready to light up Scotland after completing a free transfer move to Celtic, following a frustrating spell with Sevilla.

The 28-year-old endured a difficult time in Spain, failing to score in nine league appearances for Sevilla before being loaned to Middlesbrough, where he managed just one goal in 15 outings.

Now at Celtic, Iheanacho has already made a strong impression, scoring on his debut against Kilmarnock on Sunday. The forward insists he is fit and hungry for success.

“If you really watch the game, you can see I’m making runs to get the ball. I’m really fit, I’m ready to go for the season,” Iheanacho told Gazette Live UK.

Opinion

Iheanacho’s story is one of resilience. Many footballers fade away after tough stints in Europe’s top leagues, but his move to Celtic could be the fresh start he desperately needs. At 28, he’s no longer the teenage prodigy Leicester fans once hailed, but he still has time to carve out a legacy.

Celtic offers him the perfect stage: a passionate fan base, regular domestic dominance, and the lure of Champions League nights. If Iheanacho can stay fit and consistent, this could be the season he reminds the football world of his talent.

For Nigerian fans, his revival is more than personal—it strengthens the Super Eagles’ attack ahead of crucial international fixtures. After all, a confident Iheanacho is a dangerous one.

✨ Football, like life, is about second chances. If his debut is anything to go by, Iheanacho might just be ready to turn the page and write his best chapter yet.
